SYN: Opening Title: "Paris. Somewhere in France." The landlord, Mr. Gigi, is tired of harboring three bogus artists, Moe, Larry, and Curly, who owe him many months back rent. When Gigi threatens to kill the boys, they jump out the window onto a melon cart and flee seeking financial aid from the American Counsel and find themselves enlisted in the Foreign Legion by mistake. They are then stationed in Tsimmis, where their commanding officer, General Gorgonzola, is captured by the Chieftain's men. The Stooges, however, scheme an elaborate rescue mission and save their commanding officer. They first sneak into the fortress dressed as Santa Clauses and then believe it or not, finish their mission as harem girls.

Quick Hits:

- Did you know that Stock footage and new scenes of the Stooges as Santas were used in Malice in the Palace (9/1/49) and in it's remake, Rumpus in a Harem (6/21/56), using some footage from Wee Wee Monsieur (2/18/38).
